EATON CS-SP-1 Series Split Core Current Sensors


Eaton CS-SP-1 Series split-core current sensors measure the current flow in an electrical circuit and monitor the power usage of industrial equipment, as well as detect & prevent overloading or fault conditions in electrical systems. These sensors utilise a split core that allows easy installat...ion into existing conductors, eliminating the need to disconnect them. They work in conjunction with a variety of current measurement devices for applications, including industrial control systems, power monitoring and energy management systems. These split-core current sensors also include temperature compensation, filtering and error detection, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements.Read more

Working Mechanism

  • These sensors work by measuring the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the conductor.
  • They consist of a core and a coil located on the opposite side of the conductor.
  • When current flows through the conductor, it generates a magnetic field that passes through the core.
  • The coil detects the magnetic field and generates an electrical current proportional to the magnetic field.
  • The current is now amplified and processed by the sensor's electronic circuitry to produce an output signal.
  • This output signal can be used to measure the current in the conductor or to interface with other devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which current measurement device should I choose for my split-core sensor?

The choice of device will depend on the application and the requirements of the system where the sensor is being used. For this purpose, a wide variety of current measurement devices are available for users which include:

  • Digital Panel Metres: These devices monitor the current in real-time and display the output in digital form.
  • Data Loggers: These devices can record the current measurement data over a period of time, allowing for later analysis and trend identification.
  • Control Systems: Current measurements can be fed into industrial controllers, such as PLCs, as input so that they can take appropriate action based on the data provided.
  • Power Monitoring Systems: These systems allow detailed information on energy usage, such as current and voltage measurements, power factor and energy consumption.
  • Current Transmitters: These devices convert the current measurement to a standard output signal, which can be used to interface with other devices.
  • SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) Systems: These units monitor and control industrial processes by feeding the current measurement as an input to the control algorithm.

What is overcurrent detection?

Many split-core current sensors come equipped with overcurrent protection which can detect when the current flowing through the conductor has exceeded a certain level. This indicates an error, such as a short circuit or other fault conditions in the system and allows the user to take effective measures.
